[Old] Chapter 3: Herzeele, Goethe, Preuss [New Ch.9 V0.3]
By the 1840s mainstream scientists appear to have concluded that living organisms obey the same physical and chemical laws as inorganic nature. During the course of the nineteenth century their experiments increasingly supported this belief. However, some noteworthy exceptions existed. Albrecht von Herzeele was one of the most significant for this book.

[Old] Chapter 2: The End of Vitalism [New Ch.8 V0.2.1]
This chapter will be about how the old conception of a life force, with the development of scientific thinking, died. It will probably cover much of the subject matter contained in the Wikipedia article – Vitalism…

[Old] Holleman & Biberian’s Transmutation Experiments [New Ch.11 V0.1]
Wim Holleman was the inspiration for this work – his successful Chlorella algae experiment was extremely intriguing but has not been repeated. Jean-Paul Biberian’s Marinobacter experiment, funded by the Holleman Stichting as a possible repeat of Holleman’s, was even more intriguing…
